Mediterranean Pockets

 

All credit for these go to DedeMed and her inspirational YouTube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEJy5Yksew8&feature=channel.

For the dough I've used about 2/3 cup warm water, 3/4 cup of SD starter left over from refreshments, 1 cup all purpose flour, 1/2 cup wholemeal flour, 2tbsp Extra virgin olive oil, 1tbsp active dry yeast, 1tsp salt.

I mixed all ingredients with wooden spoon, did slab and stretch for a few minutes, proofed in an oiled bowl for 1hour or till doubled.

Divided dough into 8 balls, rested for 10 minutes, rolled out each ball on floured surface, stuffed as per video. Dough was so tender and very easy to work with.

For the stuffing, I didn't have enough spinach as per original recipe so I added chopped sun-dried tomatoes and black olives. Great recipe, very easy to put together and very versatile, my family enjoyed this and I think I'll be making it again with different fillings.

Thanks for the inspiration.  I've added this to my favourites so I'll be sure to try them.  They look delicious.

I hope you enjoy them as much as we did, they disappeared very quickly, next time I'm making these I'll sure double the recipe.
